Scotland line-up confirmed

The Scotland team and substitutes for Saturday’s viagogo Autumn Test against Australia have now been finalised.

Tommy Seymour (pictured below), the 25-year-old Glasgow Warriors winger, who marked his Murrayfield international debut with a brace of tries against Japan, has recovered from a leg injury sustained last weekend and will start in the No 14 shirt.

The only change to the back division that started against South Africa sees Duncan Weir preferred to his Warriors team-mate Ruaridh Jackson at stand-off. Weir will be winning his eighth cap.

Injuries

On the bench Max Evans’ experience and ability to cover both centre and wing have won him the outside back berth although Glasgow Warriors’ Mark Bennett, the uncapped centre who played for Scotland under-20 in the IRB Junior World Championship during the summer, remains with the squad at this juncture.

Scotland head coach Scott Johnson said: “The injuries we’ve experienced with four of our frontline backs sidelined during this series – Stuart Hogg, Tim Visser, Alex Dunbar and Matt Scott – have meant that we’ve had to think long and hard about combinations and our bench this weekend.”

Tickets are still available for Saturday’s match from this website; via the 24 hour credit card hotline 0844 335 3933; or in person from the Scottish Rugby Ticket Centre at Murrayfield, which is open from 9am-8pm until Friday.
